What is Han-Modular®?

With the Han-Modular® series, you can optimally design connectors to supply machinery and equipment. This is made possible by combining individual modules for different transmission media. The connector handles different signal types through the combination of different modules that the designer selects. Modules can also be used to accommodate multimedia types, such as power, signal, and data can be combined into a single connector rather than separate connections.

Space Savings – Integration of multiple connectors into a single unit allow for significant reduction in space requirements

Low-maintenance – Using a pre-assembled, pre-tested connector assembly can reduce hard wiring and installation time

Flexibility – With the Han-Modular® series, users can assemble their ‘own’ connectors according to their own individual requirements. Essentially creating a “custom” connector using standard stocked modules

When comparing ways to bring power, signal, or data into an application – there are two choices, permanently hardwiring connections or using a connector. When weighing the two options, there are several considerations. The first, and most important, is how frequently the application will be disconnected/reconnected. When hardwiring, each wire needs to be painstakingly removed and reconnected, resulting in substantial labor costs. If anything is miss-wired, it can take hours of troubleshooting.

Using a connector costs more upfront, however once made, it offers a plug-and-play solution which is impossible to miss-wire and does not require skilled labor. For many, the long-term benefits of using connectors significantly outweigh hardwiring.

The latest expansion of the Han-Modular® series is the introduction of Smart Han® modules that allow connection to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) at the connector level. HARTING combines expertise in reliable connectivity with future-forward technology – in the footprint of the well-established Han-Modular® insert.

HARTING’s Smart Han® approach is to develop solutions in conjunction with leading IIoT thought-leaders, as needs arise, with the goal of making them globally available.

The Industrial Connector Configurator is a drag-and-drop interactive tool that allows engineers, buyers, sales people and other users to select and customize electrical connectors that are used in a variety of industrial settings – including mechanical and plant engineering, broadcast and entertainment, factory automation, power generation and distributions, as well as electronics and telecommunication.

To better understand the cost savings over time, users can also input actual connector vs. hard-wiring costs.

The application dynamically displays the cost savings over a period of four different installations, which can also be sent to the user via email.
